BlackBerry® Bold™

[blade725]

The manufactuer will never lock the phone unless they lock it to a certain carrier.  This is the way that carriers will use to keep customers using their services, because the phone is locked to that carrier

You can call your mobile service provider (ufone) with whom you'll have BlackBerry Internet Service, and ask the to confirm the IMEI and PIN are clear -- not suspended nor blocked due to being reported lost or stolen.
